Owen shines for club and country
Owen Reilly was part of the Welsh U17 cricket side that took on Gloucestershire for a pair of T20 fixtures on Wednesday, August 21, which saw the national side perform exceptionally well on their way to a notable double.
He began with an impressive showing with the ball in the first game, claiming two wickets for the loss of just 19 runs during a five-wicket triumph for the Wales side.
His outstanding contribution continued against a Gloucestershire development side, with Owen further outlining his immense potential at the crease with a half-century knock of 50 from just 53 deliveries, and Owen also aided his side’s cause with two wickets in their dramatic one-run victory.
The first XI captain also made an appearance for a North Wales select XI in their annual encounter against their South African counterparts on Bank Holiday Sunday, producing a score of 39 to round off another memorable week.
The promising teenager has enjoyed a fantastic summer for club and country, which has enhanced his growing reputation as one of the brightest young prospects anywhere in the country.
